The mission of the GHFP is to promote the development of qualities that are needed for ensuring peace and a sustainable human future.

To initiate and facilitate processes that bring people towards understanding, compassion and personal growth, the Foundation creates quiet, safe and open spaces for dialogue, education and communication. This contributes strategically to the resolution of problems, and to the development of human being's full potential and talents, in a spirit of optimism and realism.

The Foundation works as a learning organisation, investigating areas of human concern in order to identify key questions that promote dialogue and discussion. The communications thus engendered can facilitate new understanding and transformation inspired by human and spiritual values.

The Areas of Concern are:

• The fostering of peace and harmony between people
• The promotion of inter-religious understanding through dialogue and the deepening of individual religious and spiritual experience
• The provision of education and experiences for the development of the full potential of each person, including the stimulation of an entrepreneurial spirit that enables people to use their talents to improve the quality of their lives and of those around them
• The seeking of innovative solutions to the problems of poverty and injustice, and to the need for sustainable development and transformation
